The volume follows and is linked to two previous texts I wrote with Franco Angeli on the issues of combating counterfeiting and security in intermodal infrastructures.

This book concludes a “trilogy” which is the result of a study cycle carried out in collaboration with prof. Antonello Colosimo, who foresaw the in-depth study of specific issues in terms of intelligence analysis, security and the consequent applicability of operational methodologies for those structures, public and private, which make security and prevention a priority to safeguard the individual and corporate asset. The texts therefore all follow a basic criterion, for those who study the subject scientifically, which is to make the entire work procedure known and public, so that the theses dealt with and exposed can be the object of comparison and verification. For this reason, the study and development of ideas is always accompanied by practical application in security structures.
